--- Quote ---?The motion to certify is the one that is the most disturbing, and I have real problems with that,? surmised O'Kelley at the end of the hearing. ?And you obviously saw it because I think I started asking questions about it the very first thing this morning ... and I just have difficulty with that issue.
?But if it requires more discovery, I may set a pattern and allow you to do that, but whatever I do, I want it to be the right thing. And I expect it to be. And I know it will be.?

What'd I tell you guys? Even a federal judge has problems wrapping his head around this shit.

Reading this article is doesn't sound like the judge is too likely to certify.

?It's still a Ford,? replied O'Kelly.

So is this the judge's logic?:
"You pay for a Therapeutic Boarding School that is supposed to have certified teachers and trained, skilled counselors and you get a TBS (which, by the way, has fought state regulation for years) that has uncertified teachers (some of the teachers aren't even real teachers) and untrained, unskilled counselors," surmises John Doe. "That's what this is."
"It's still a school," - replies the judge.

Pretty much. You got a car didn't ya? Does it matter that it's not what you ordered?
I'm not sure what HLA intended with their comment about being the fourth largest employer in Lumpkin Co. Should that somehow weigh on the judge's decision? I can't even find them in the Top 10.

Look at the wording in this article again Deborah
"was once the fourth largest private employer in Lumpkin County"
It WAS once the fourth largest private employer in Lumpkin Co. I remember seeing the numbers when I lived there. At one time it employed over 200 people, most of whom resided in the county. It doesnt have that status anymore, however. Thats why you can't find it in the top 5 or top 10 now.
